Great Breakdown of Interpretating Scripture

This book gets into the nitty gritty of interpreting Scripture. It is great for new Christians and those who have been reading the Bible fore years. I would highly suggest this book to anyone who wants to take their devotionals and quiet time with the Lord to the next level.

Can’t just read once.

This was a very well structured discussion on how to read and interpret the different books of the Bible. Definitely not a single read for me to fully grasp the concepts presented.

Practical approach to biblical hermeneutics

I would highly recommend the grasping God’s Word hermeneutical approach because of its practical and straightforward understanding and application
